Institutional Capability Statement
Illinois State University was founded in 1857 as the first public institution of higher
education in Illinois. The University has a proud heritage: the documents establishing the
pioneer educational undertaking were drafted by Abraham Lincoln. Today, Illinois State
University (sometimes referred to as “Illinois State”) is a comprehensive, nationally ranked
university with over 20,000 students enrolled in a wide range of degree programs at the
bachelors, masters, and doctoral levels.
In 1968, a Faculty-Student Task Force on International Education called for the
establishment of the Office of International Studies and Programs (OISP) to foster the
development of foreign study programs, faculty exchanges, co-curricular cross-cultural
programs, and a foreign student program. Over the years, significant progress has been made
in building the international dimension of the University.
The Office of International Studies and Programs:
The Office of International Studies and Programs (OISP) is the focal point for international
activities at Illinois State. To carry out its global goals and responsibilities, OISP works
closely with academic units across campus to internationalize educational programs, research
and training opportunities, and to promote collaborative agreements and faculty exchanges
with foreign institutions. OISP serves hundreds of international students and visiting scholars
annually from over a hundred different countries. Through its Study Abroad unit, OISP
offers 75 programs in different countries and continents.
OISP’s contributions to the mission of the University are made through the auspices of the
following units: International Student and Scholar Services, International Student Exchange,
Study Abroad, National Student Exchange, International House, International Linkages/Area
Studies, International Proposal Development, and Management Development International
(MDI).
OISP/Illinois State has a long history of educational outreach to the community and to the
world. OISP/Illinois State offers a breadth of experience in designing and implementing
training programs. Some of those programs include, but are not limited to, computer and
telecommunication technologies, project management, international business, financial
management, community and economic development, human resource management,
broadcasting, development banking management, education and democratization and
governance. The Management Development International unit within the OISP specializes in
short-term training for public, private and non-profit clients. Short-term training programs
have been provided to hundreds of participants from both the U.S. and overseas.
Management Development International:
Management Development International (MDI) works in cooperation with all departments
and schools within Illinois State. MDI Professional Development Programs are geared to
provide participants the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in a challenging and
continuously changing (global) environment.
7
Objectives:
MDI program objectives are: (a) to provide state-of-the-art training geared to the special
considerations of working professionals from public, nonprofit, and private
organizations; (b) to deliver knowledge on contemporary theory and the practice of
management development, and (c) to utilize practitioner experience to establish the
application of theory to public, nonprofit, and private sector practice.
Programs:
MDI offers several short-term professional training programs at the Illinois State
campus in the U.S. and overseas. All programs involve the coordination of diverse
campus resources and the cooperation and support of external partners (e.g., government
agencies, businesses) to provide innovative solutions to unique problems.
MDI regular programs include a customized Professional Management Diploma,
Advanced Professional Certificate Programs, and Professional Certificate Programs.
MDI also conducts independent study and custom-designed professional training
programs on demand both at the Illinois State campus in the U.S. and on-site overseas.
Through the Illinois State Center for Information Systems Technology (Info Tech), for
instance, MDI could offer customized training, consultation and applied research in
computing and information technology to small businesses, corporations and
individuals. A list of areas where MDI can design and deliver training, on request, is
provided in the MDI training catalog and website.

research-based knowledge with practical application and international experience. MDI
draws on full-time faculty from various colleges/departments of the University and
outside practitioners in relevant fields to provide a wide range of training programs and

The use of dynamic, interactive instructional methods; including seminars, hands-on
practice sessions, computer applications, case studies, development of action plans, and
field trips make our programs innovative, pragmatic, job relevant and intellectually
stimulating. MDI faculty and staff are genuinely interested in the well-being of
participants. Our personnel are fully committed to attend to the needs of the participants
during and after class hours.
Socio-cultural Support:
MDI/Illinois State provides a pleasant environment for study, research and cultural
exchanges. Located in a metropolitan area, Illinois State is linked by interstate highways
to Chicago, Illinois, Saint Louis, Missouri, Springfield, Illinois, Champaign, Illinois,
Peoria, Illinois, Indianapolis, Indiana, and Madison, Wisconsin. Regular and very
affordable bus and train services to these and other nearby cities make the cultural
offerings of these cities available to interested participants, and the university
community itself provides an exciting array of activities.
Participants in the MDI/Illinois State programs will find an abundance of cultural and
sports events on campus. Prominent speakers come to Illinois State each semester. Also,
through the OISP area studies and Global Review programs, there are weekly lectures,
seminars and colloquia dealing with academic specialties throughout the University. In
addition, a special effort is made to provide contact with American families through
Illinois State’s International Friends Program, International Women, and several other
community-based volunteer programs.

study activities. The details of the research activities will be agreed upon between
the faculty adviser and the participant.
Participants can choose any of the Spring and Fall regularly schedule programs as
area of specialization. Examples of specialization include Management, Monitoring,
and Evaluation of Projects; Financial Management; and Human Resource
Management – just to name a few. Participants can also choose any of the topics
listed under the Custom-Design Professional Training Programs.
The participants will be given training materials as handouts to support their guided
studies. The faculty adviser and other faculty members involved in the program will
ask the participants to render report on their studies for comments, synthesis, and
reinforcements of learning gains.
The participants will be provided with a library card and will be guided on how to
conduct library research. They will also be shown how to access library materials
using the internet.
Toward the end of their program, participants will be required to submit an action
plan. The action plan will indicate how the new knowledge and skills can be applied
in their respective organizations.
The admission requirement for participants in an independent study is the same as
the admission requirement for those who apply for the regularly scheduled
programs.
